Adoption, DNA, and the search for identity: insights from a personal and professional journey

Join me for a powerful and thoughtful session that explores the complex realities adopted people face in today’s world of DNA testing and genetic genealogy. This presentation offers a rare opportunity to hear from an adopted person who combines personal experience with professional insights in psychology, ethics, and business. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how DNA discoveries can reshape identity and family connections—along with the emotional, ethical, and practical challenges involved. Whether you are an adopted person, genealogist, or family historian, this session will equip you with compassionate, person-centered approaches and practical guidance to navigate adoption stories with respect and sensitivity.

Attendees would benefit from a basic understanding of DNA testing and genetic genealogy, and be open to exploring sensitive emotional and ethical issues related to adoption.
